reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's

the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed

Department of Education is especially interested in public comment

processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden 
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the 
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, 
including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered 
public records.

    OMB Control Number: 1820-0583.
    Type of Review: A reinstatement of a previously approved

    Abstract: The OSERS Peer Reviewer Data Form (OPRDF) is used by 
OSERS staff to identify potential reviewers who would be qualified to 
review specific types of grant applications for funding; to provide 
background contact information for each potential reviewer; and to 
provide information on any reasonable accommodations that might be 
required by the individual. The previous version of the OPRDF, 1820-
0583, expired on September 30, 2017. The revised version of the OSERS 
Peer Data Form included in this information collection request contains 
additional questions to better match field experts with the review of 
OSERS funding opportunities. There are also additional questions aimed 
to better meet the needs of peer reviewers who require reasonable 
accommodations.
